This pattern of a dagger for German Foresters by Paul Casberg traditionally featured symbols of forest life. Apart from floral motif it features a deer head with radiant swastika between horns on a clam shell guard. This sketch was not approved for production but survived in historic documents of the firm Carl Eickhorn.
